"Spring"

This sculpture "Spring" was installed on 2006 celebrating the restoration of Cheonggyecheun, Seoul. The artists Bruggen and Oldenberg had created this one inspired from the shell, the development of Seoul, the Korean women's traditional dress ribbons, blue and red. I hope the Seoul sketchers to have chances to draw around this for best results in next sketchcrawls if possible.

I sketched two buildings on the spot rapidly in Seoul.
These modern buildings are of historical importance in Korea.

an old woman

Years ago(2001) I could have travelled to Daegu. I had seen this old woman at railroad station who seemed to have been waiting to get on the train. Though nearly 10 years have passed I recollect the travel and the mood when I had sketched her.

Steve sketched Lee Yong-hwan at the restaurant while we had lunch.

I took photos with my cellular phone. So the pencil lines are not clear. I thank Steve for permitting to take pictures. I admire his honest and sincere attitude for art and human relationship. We enjoyed the meetings and promised to sketch together next time.

At the Anglican church of Korea I sketched this one with chalk holder. Though the weather was not warm at all sketching with other friends was always fun and pleasing. Thanking for Steve and his attractive wife, Susie, and his lovely daughter to participate in this hard weather, we promised to meet again and again in Seoul and in Sydney someday! Thanks for all participants too! See you in next sketchcrawl soon!
